History

At this point, there was already a primitive bridge, which was in 1634 from the Hôtel -Dieu, which stood here on the Ile de la Cité, built in the 17th century. For the construction of a new bridge, the site was free, as Baron Haussmann was laid in 1865, the Hôtel -Dieu and demolish the old buildings.

The name of the bridge is derived from the Wegzoll amounting to a double denier, which had to be paid when crossing.
